montecito: I didn't know there were so many departments Lala..
There are many departments, Monte and most are intertwined with one another, if one department was gotten rid of, it would affect other departments....

So maybe it's good that Perry forgot what he wants to get rid of cause it might have hurt us in another way. I wish I was politics smart like you Conrad, Freddy, Ooby, Rebby, Galrad, all you guys know what's going on.
What if you got to select where you wanted your tax dollars to go each year when you paid your taxes.
Maybe have a list to select from (multiple choice) Then give the percent you wanted to go to those departments until you reached 100% of what you owed.
I'm big on defense and education so that's where I'd want the bulk of my money to go. But like I said, I'm not political smart and don't realize where we really need the money. I know I need the money in my pocket but I didn't see a choice in the list for Department of Montecito..

There are literally hundreds of Departments and Agencies in the Federal Government, often redundant, often only in existence to give public workers a title and an ostensible purpose in collecting a paycheck.
When they come up with a Department or Agency ensuring everyone knows how to breathe (having some important sounding name like: The Commission on Education of Respiration), I will have seen the ultimate limit of federal self-justification, being as breathing is an autonomic reflex and requires no education (unless you suffer from Sleep Apnea or similar health disorder in which case its the jurisdiction of the Department of Health).
Doubt it not, bureaucracy has taken over our country, and will only continue to grow if we let it.

President Reagan knew what was going to happen when he said government should mind their own business. Regardless that he's a republican, I think he was right. We never had so much government in our lives as we do now.

When I worked in the public sector, I saw it as a cancer. (mutant cells multiplying exponentially) It did seem that way. Very discouraging.
